The Six Apart team says at its blog that “We have been impressed not only with the vision for Pownce but the great work of Leah Culver and Mike Malone and are very happy that they will be joining us.

“For Pownce users, we are very sorry the site will be closing.
“We welcome you to join us on Vox - Leah and Mike are there! - and we hope the Pownce and Vox communities can come together, just as the teams have, towards a better future.
“For the Pownce Pro users, we would like to offer you a free TypePad account for a year. All Pownce users will receive an email with further instructions about exporting content out of Pownce and signing up for Vox or TypePad accounts.”
Six Apart’s blog ends: “We’re planning on doing great things with the help and expertise of the Pownce team, and can’t wait to see all the results of their hard work.”
